One of the transformers at the Kotugoda CEB Grid Sub Station in Minuwangoda, has caught fire, our reporter said.

He said fire brigades were rushing to the location and that some areas in Negombo had reported a power failure because of the malfunctioning transformer.  (Tony Karunanayake)

    This proves the last island wide blackout was not due to a transformer failure.

    Transformer caught fire? Autobot or Decepticon?

    Kale Friday, 18 March 2016 04:56 PM

    Incompetence and mismanagement, or simply bad luck?

    Arrange some cooling systems for transformers. Its the heat from sun that should be controlled.
